Normally, I would have mounted that before you spelled out my name. But I was fascinated by Shannon. You know, who are they? Where you come from? And all we did was talk. I didn't even kiss her or hold her hand or anything. Oh, really? That's really interesting. You know, we're just finding out about each other. She comes over and gives me her phone number. And I said, I'm gonna call you tomorrow.

No, I don't know what you're talking about. And he hung up the phone. And I kept calling a few times. I go, holy fuck, what the hell? Couldn't figure it out. And I'm watching TV in front of me, and I see the photo being stuck under the table. What happened to your meeting, by the way?
